Planned Parenthood’s political mouthpieces often tout the organization’s virtually nonexistent services, like prenatal care, to justify the the half a billion taxpayer dollars annually that is funneled to the abortion corporation. However, as previous Live Action investigations<\/a> have shown, what the organization’s PR machine claims and what it actually offers to women in need are often two very different things.<\/p>\n

A newly released Live Action video compares two things: what politicians say<\/em> when\u00a0selling the ‘virtues’ of Planned Parenthood to their constituents and colleagues, and\u00a0what women actually hear<\/em> when they call or visit Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

The video features\u00a0a variety of pro-abortion politicians, who support and endorse Planned Parenthood, touting the organization’s prenatal care services as a reason to fund Planned Parenthood year after year.<\/p>\n

The truth these politicians fail to state is that while federal taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood doubled in the span of ten years — from $272.7 million in 2004<\/a>\u00a0to $553.7 million in 2014<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0health services like\u00a0prenatal care and cancer screenings declined sharply.<\/p>\n
